Democratic super PAC targets 10 GOP lawmakers

House Majority PAC officials said the 10-person target list will expand as the midterm cycle advances. The group spent nearly $36 million in over 50 races last year.

In a statement to POLITICO, House Majority PAC executive director Alixandria Lapp said the early rollout of a takeover list shows the group is “ready to hit the ground running to hold these Republicans accountable and communicate with swing voters about their extreme records and backward priorities.”

“Whether it’s supporting the end of Medicare as we know it, backing tax cuts for the wealthy, working to roll back the clock on women’s rights or opposing stem cell research, these Republicans are simply out of step with the districts they represent. House Majority PAC will work to ensure voters know the truth,” she said.

Republicans, too, have begun to broadcast their plans for the 2014 House battle. While the GOP already has a solid majority in the House, the National Republican Congressional Committee has signaled it believes there’s still room to grow.

Those are largely seats Republicans have tried hard to win in the past, but where moderate Democrats have beat the odds in recent cycles.

“Our efforts will begin with seven districts that are currently held by Democrats that have voted Republican in all three of the last presidential elections,” Hickey wrote. “These Democrats all share something in common: They do not fit their districts.”

Republican outside groups have not yet detailed whether – or where – they will work to undercut Democratic incumbents in the run-up to the midterm campaign.
